Image:Cruz-diez.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
This is per public sources -- the artist's webpage and his foundation's webpage -- and also confirmed today by personal communication with the foundation's director (Nicole Schindler).
I'm wondering, whether this text does go conform with the rule that one has to write in an objective and neutral tone: "is a Venezuelan artist considered to be one of the greatest artistic innovators of the 20th and 21st centuries.[1]" - the quote is from an advertising text for a book on him - as the reference explains. I don't think that in an encyclopedia we should accept such marketing-speech. --Gyanda (talk) 11:48, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, MaoGo, not back, but I saw blatant cut-and-paste copyvio when trying to explain to a friend how significant Cruz-Diez was, and can't let that stand :) First, all of the copyvio has to be detected: when I found three examples of cut-and-paste, I decided it was too much for me to take on, and I have not checked every sentence. (It was easy to tell there was copyvio because the writing was at a very sophisticated level.) Based on this post, an admin will have to scrub the history, since the copyvio goes back so many years. Anyone who is up for determining all of the copyvio can begin to rewrite the copyvio sections, but I am concerned about how extensive it is. If the article is researched to detect all copyvio, and rewritten to remove copyvio, then the copyvio tag can be moved to the bottom until an admin can review and revdel the copyvio.

I'm against this type of intrusive templates, what is the point to hide basic info of the subject? I doubt the fact that he was born in Venezuela and died in Paris is copyrighted. --Oscar_. (talk) 15:30, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is at least any admin already dealing with this article? Is this article listed in some admin task list? This is a truly important article. --MaoGo (talk) 05:43, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Has there ever been a biography or something for this guy? Unfortunate that it's just a list of exhibitions, no real prose to read through. Something to work on if anyone has sourcing or info to share. The Way of the Fewture (talk) 19:18, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
